I'm sure you clicked this thread assuming I have the answer. Sorry, I don't.
I'm asking if anybody has a surefire way or technique of ensuring an older product has been thoroughly mixed. Yes, I know shaking by hand is probably the number one answer, but sometimes that doesn't seem to work.
One technique I've read about is to strap your product to a DA machine and turn it on. I tried this and failed. I'm thinking of investing in a mixing/shaking machine, but before I do, I want to hear your suggestions.
 
Sawzall to the rescue.

The picture shows a spray paint can, but you get the idea.....

There is a company making a product like the above, too.

Wonder if a 32oz bottle (Mequiars) would fit that gadget?
 
Awesome idea! Just last night I was shaking a bunch of my products to mix them up, and I was thinking how nice it would be to have a device to shake them. Shaking one or two bottles of separated product by hand is work, shaking a dozen or so, ugh! :nomore:

My Ryobi reciprocating saw doesn't normally get used much, but it's about to. :xyxthumbs:
 
I've put a popsicle stick into a keyless chuck drill and used that before. Seems to work. If you need something longer, do the same with a sliced up paint mixing stick. Just watch out for splinters. :)
 
If it is a 16 oz. bottle, duct tape it to your random orbital backing plate. make sure the lid is taped shut also. Run on lower speeds for a couple minutes.
 
I use this everytime I mix product. It does a good job and is especially good for rattle can paint.
